Description

'A beautiful and clever book about being human' Russell Brand

COMEDY. TRAGEDY. THERAPY.


Simon Amstell did his first stand-up gig at the age of thirteen. His parents had just divorced and puberty was confusing. Trying to be funny solved everything.

HELP is the hilarious and heartbreaking account of Simon's ongoing compulsion to reveal his entire self on stage. To tell the truth so it can't hurt him any more. Loneliness, anxiety, depression - this book has it all. And more.

From a complicated childhood in Essex to an Ayahuasca-led epiphany in the Amazon rainforest, this story will make you laugh, cry and then feel happier than you've ever been.



Revealing, uplifting, heartbreaking - this is stand-up comedian Simon Amstell in his own words.

About the Author

He wrote and directed the film Carnage, wrote and starred in the television series Grandma's House, and his past stand-up tours include To Be Free, Numb, Do Nothing and What is This? He also hosted some popular television programmes but is now too pretentious to list them here.

Reviews
A beautiful and clever book about being human. All the warmth of his comedy without the inconvenience of his face * Russell Brand *
Hard to imagine anyone not loving this... go Simon Amstell! * Stephen Fry *
Disarmingly, almost alarmingly, honest. I laughed out loud 57 times * Martin Freeman *
No one makes loneliness and anxiety as funny as Simon Amstell. Every sentence in this book is simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious * Hadley Freeman *
Enrapturing. Touching, funny and sweet * Alain de Botton *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
